Browning's Buck Mark Hunter is a single-action .22 LR pistol with a 7.25-inch heavy tapered bull barrel, 12.5 inches overall and 37 ounces. Wood grips, a thumb-operated manual safety and a 10+1 capacity cover the basics. Sights are a Pro-Target adjustable rear and a fiber optic front, with an integrated scope base on top for a compatible red dot. One magazine and a pistol rug come in the box, and the finish is Blue/Black.

For a South Carolina shooter this is a range and small-game pistol rather than a carry gun: the long bull barrel settles the sight picture for deliberate shots, and the weight soaks up what little a .22 kicks. Dealer purchase takes photo ID, Form 4473 and a NICS check, with a current South Carolina concealed weapons permit accepted by many dealers instead, and the state keeps no registry and asks for no purchase permit.
